From my Public Personal Journal - Careers Work etc.

(Picture Credit - The Balance - Restaurant Manager...)


Although I’ve been virtually retired for over ten years I still think about Careers Work and Teaching.

Only this morning I thought that if I made a comeback I would do more focussed, compressed Career Planning Interviews. Indeed I would aim to make them shorter to allow for Computing!

From the start I would say, “We are here to compile your CP”. Then we would go straight onto Career Aims and only collect information relevant to that. Usual checks on realism, decision-making etc. Diagnosis and Help as required. All Outcome Focused. Nuff Said.

As for teaching, I remind myself that a class does not have to be “quiet” in order to function. At Thorne, many teachers had their pupils simply copying up notes to keep them in order. They told me that the kids loved copying. Tactics, boy, tactics. Nuff Said. Out.
